A Noted COunterfeIter Will Not Get Loose Just Net.
 MICHIGAN CITY, Ind, Oct. 30.-After serving a sentence of fifteen years in the northern Indiana penitentiary in this city for counterfeiting, Pete Mccartney; the prince of "queer shovers," was released yesterday morning, but only to get as far as the big iron gates, where 8 deputy United States marshal arrested him again to further answer for his former crimes. The marshal has 8 warrant to take Mccartney to the jurisdic- tion of the United States court for the Southern district of Illinois, in Springfield, where an indictment eighteen years old hangs over his head for making and passing spuri- ous bank notes. Mccartney does not expect to be released until next month and even then does not anticipate rearrest, for he pro fesses to believe that he has made his peace with the secret service officers Mccartney has national reputation as the greatest counterfeiter in the United States. He oper- ated successfully to the consternation of the government officers for years before he was captured. He was finally arrested in Rich- mond, Ind, and tried to bribe his captors with $1 ,500 good money to allow him to es- cape, but the offer was rejected. During his prison life here Mccartney has made two ef- forts to get away, one of which was nearly successful. When first imprisoned he was worth considerable money, but it is all gone now and with it his health. He is 69 years old

AB.c PRorELLOR GOES DOWN.

ABIG PROPELLOR GOES DOWN. Many Lives Probably Lost in a Wreck on Lake Michigan.
 MILWAUKEE, Oct. 30.-The steamship Su- perior, arriving here at S:30 o'clock last l night, brought the first news of the total wreck of a large passenger propellor off | Manitowoc, Wis. That the wreck is that of
 the Vernon of the Northern Michigan is es- F tablished beyond doubt. She was due l here yesterday and from the description of fragments seen by the crew of the Superior her owners here consider her identity fully established. She had on board a crew of twenty-two men and several passengers, the l exact number not, being knowny and it is supposed that all hands perished. Captain Moran of the Superior saw three or four rafts with men clinging to them and also small boat containing woman and three men. Although he made an effort to res cue them the high sea prevented the rendering of any assistance, the Superior being herself disabled and requiring the crew's best efforts. It was about 10 o'clock in the morning when the first signs of the wreck in the shape of 8 floating cargo and furniture were seen. About an hour later the
 rafts were sighted. On some the occupants
 were almost gone, while others signalled the Superior. P. J. Klein of Klein & Burke, who chartered the Vernoon to replace the Cham
 plain burned early in the season, received the
 first information from reporter. After hear
 ing the account as reported by Captain Moran
 he felt sure the vessel was the Vernon. He did not know what passengers were on board
 and of the crew could give only the following names Captain George Thorpe of Ogdens-
 burg, NY, master; Captain Collins, mate,
 who formerly sailed the schooner Golden
 West; Captain Higgins, second mate, who
 sailed the barge Leland last year; F. w. Burke, clerk, eldest of MT. Burke, one of the owners; Charles Marean, first en- gineer; Frank M. Hall, second engineer, a
 brother of E. Hall of Chicago; Martin Bean, steward; - Bean, porter, a brother of
 Martin. The Bean brothers were on the Champlain when she burned.
 The Vernon was owned by A Booth of Chicago, and was valued at $75, ,000. She
 was year old and insured for S37, 900. She ran between Chicago and Mackinaw and picked up freight at the ports where she
 touched, carrying it at the risk of the owners.
 Captain Williams, of the schooner
 Joseph Paige, arrived last night at g o'clock and reported having seen
 wreckage about six miles east of Two Rivers
 Point, evidently of passenger vessel. One of the crew saw body and piece of pilot
 house with a man on 1t. The sea was run
 ming so high that it was impossible for the
 Joseph Paige to get near enough to the man
 to pick him up.
